Stone was born in Exeter, Devon in 1925, the only child of Sidney Charles

Stone, a civil servant, and

Florence Beatrice Stone (née Coles). He received his B.A. in 1948 and

Ph.D. in 1951, both from Christ's College, Cambridge (Cambridge University), England, where he

studied under Harry Julius Emeléus. He married Judith

Hislop (1928-2008) of Sydney, Australia in 1956 with whom he had three sons. After

and to the Royal Society in 1976, he was awarded

the Davy Medal "In

recognition of his many distinguished contributions to organometallic

chemistry, including the discovery that species containing carbon-metal of

metal-metal multiple bonds are versatile reagents for synthesis of cluster

compounds with bonds between different transition elements" in 1989. Among

the many foci of his studies were complexes ligands. At Baylor, he maintained a research program on boron

1988 he chaired the Review Committee commissioned by the British Government

(the now-dissolved University Grants Committee)

to carry out a review of chemistry in UK academia ("University

Chemistry — The Way Forward", "The Stone Report"). His main

recommendation, "that the UGC fund properly not fewer than 30

chemistry departments" and that "at least 20 of these departments

have 30 or more academic staff to compete successfully at the

international level" was

never implemented. His

autobiography Leaving No Stone Unturned, Pathways in Organometallic

Chemistry, was published in 1993. With

Wilkinson, he edited the influential series Comprehensive Organometallic

Chemistry. With Robert West, he edited the series Advances

in Organometallic Chemistry. The Gordon Stone Lecture series at the

University of Bristol is named in his honour. Annual
